Delivers a Distinctive Sound All Its Own

nThe sonic signature of today! Featuring Blue’s world-renowned B6 capsule, the Kiwi delivers the detail of its sonic signature all at once with lots of top end (without being too in your face!), along with lots of mids and bottom end, without being too forward. Designed to set the standard for solid state microphones, the Kiwi yields lush vocals, stunning acoustic guitar and gorgeous piano sounds from nine diferent polar patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8 and everything in between).
n
nWhen your recording environment requires a bit of versatility, Blue’s Multi-pattern Series microphones deliver. Designed around custom hand-tuned capsules, these uniquely designed mics offer a diverse sonic landscape, whether it’s a guitar in carioid mode, background vocals in figure of 8, or an orchestra in omni. The choices are almost unlimited! Plus, if your recording application requires M/S, W/Y or a simple stereo setup, a pair of these multi-pattern mics opens up your recording space to even more possibilities. With Blues Multi-pattern Series, your mic locker will be infinitely expanded.

nAn excellent condenser microphone for any sound source
n
nNo really, we mean it. Like many Blue microphones, the Kiwi has found a home in the Sweetwater Studios mic vault and made its appearance on countless recordings. Its lush yet mostly transparent sound has made it a hit for vocals, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar cabinets, whereas its open sound and extended frequency response makes a pair of Kiwis a natural choice for piano or drum overheads. Its low distortion and nearly nonexistent proximity effect have come in handy for close miking brass and wind instruments as well, and when you set it to omni in front of a precision rig, you get both detailed direct sound and full-sounding room sound all at the same time. You just can’t beat that kind of flexibility!

nMulti-pattern design lets you record in any kind of environment
n
nUnlike many multi-pattern condenser mics, which feature three or maybe five polar patterns, the Blue Kiwi offers a whopping nine total pattern options, including several in-between settings. The immediate appeal of being able to tighten up your cardioid pattern enough to totally isolate a single instrument in a loud environment is an obvious enough way in which this particular feature can come in handy, but one trick we’ve found that you may not have considered is the ability to widen the cardioid shape to deliberately capture some, but not all, of the room ambience when you’re tracking a single instrument. Omni, cardioid, figure-8, and everything in between – whatever your needs may be, the Blue Kiwi delivers.
n
nBundled with the essential accessories you need
n
nDon’t you just hate it when you buy a piece of gear and immediately need to order some essential accessory? Blue gets that, which is why they make it a habit to include the essential accessories you need with their mics. In the case of the Blue Kiwi, you get both a lovely wood storage case and a shockmount. The box is made of lovely cherry and comes lined in rich velvet that protects your Kiwi in transit. The shockmount is Blue’s The Shock, which does an excellent job of decoupling your mic from your mic stand to ward off low-frequency rumble that can ruin your recordings.
